The Epson EcoTank L3166 and L3266 offer similar everyday capabilities: colour printing, copying, scanning, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, a 3.7 cm colour LCD and manual duplex printing. Both are rated at approximately 10 ISO pages per minute in black and 5 in colour. Both support Legal paper and have a 100-sheet input capacity.
Which should you buy? Choose the L3266 when purchasing a new printer at a competitive price, particularly if the higher advertised included black-ink yield matters: 8,100 pages versus 4,500 for the L3166. The L3166 remains a reasonable option if you already own it or find one in good condition at a significantly lower total cost. Its advertised included colour-ink yield is 7,500 pages versus 6,500 for the L3266. Included-ink yields must not be confused with long-term running costs.
Neither printer has a verified photo-printing speed advantage under identical test conditions. The published photo times refer to different or incompletely specified print settings. Legal-paper support is not exclusive to either model. With comparable prices and condition, the L3266 is the more practical purchase recommendation, subject to local ink and warranty availability. A substantially cheaper L3166 in excellent condition can still be a sensible choice.
1. Included ink yield: Epson specifies 4,500 black and 7,500 colour pages for the L3166, compared with 8,100 black and 6,500 colour pages for the L3266. These are included-ink figures, not direct measurements of future running costs. Actual yields vary with usage and initial ink charging.
2. 10×15 cm photo printing: Epson China lists 27 seconds in economy mode with borders, 69 seconds in standard mode with borders and 90 seconds in standard borderless mode for the L3166. Epson Europe lists 27 seconds on Premium Glossy Photo Paper and separately lists 69 seconds in its photo-speed specifications for the L3266. The published information does not establish fully matching test conditions, so a definite speed winner cannot be determined.
3. Scanning: Epson China specifies 1200 dpi optical resolution and up to 1200×2400 dpi physical resolution for the L3166. Epson Europe specifies 1200×2400 dpi optical resolution for the L3266. These differently described measurements should not be treated as proof of superior real-world scan quality.
4. Mobile printing: The L3166 documentation lists Epson iPrint, Apple AirPrint, Email Print and Remote Print Driver. It also lists Google Cloud Print historically, although that service was discontinued in January 2021. Epson Europe lists Epson Connect, Apple AirPrint and Mopria for the L3266. A service omitted from one published list is not automatically unsupported.
5. Minor differences: The L3166 weighs approximately 4 kg versus 4.1 kg for the L3266. Published power-off consumption is 0.3 W versus 0.2 W. Neither is a decisive purchasing distinction.
6. Shared capabilities: Both support colour printing, copying, scanning, four-colour CMYK ink, up to 5760×1440 dpi printing, 10/5 ISO monochrome/colour pages per minute, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, USB, manual duplex, A4 and Legal paper, a 100-sheet input tray and a 30-sheet output tray. Marketing category labels are not meaningful performance differences.
At similar prices and condition, the L3266 is a practical choice, especially if its higher advertised included black-ink yield matters. A substantially cheaper L3166 in good condition remains a sensible alternative because their core functions and document-printing speeds are similar.
Yes. Epson's official specifications confirm Legal-paper support for both models. The L3266's A4 category description does not mean Legal paper is unsupported.
A reliable winner cannot be established from the published figures alone. Epson lists 27, 69 and 90 seconds for the L3166 under different settings. The L3266 specifications include 27 seconds on Premium Glossy Photo Paper and a separate 69-second figure. Fully equivalent testing conditions are not confirmed.
Epson advertises 4,500 black and 7,500 colour pages for the L3166, compared with 8,100 black and 6,500 colour pages for the L3266. These figures relate to included ink and do not establish long-term cost per page.
No. Both models list manual two-sided printing rather than automatic duplex.
Yes. Both support Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct and mobile-printing options. Epson lists iPrint and AirPrint for the L3166 and Epson Connect, AirPrint and Mopria for the L3266. Google Cloud Print is a discontinued legacy service.
That cannot be established from the published resolution figures alone. Epson uses different descriptions of optical and physical scanning resolution. Both printers use CIS flatbed scanning, and practical scan quality should be evaluated separately.
